Oath of the Divine Archer

Features

Tenets of the Divine Archer

  The tenets of the Oath of the Divine Archer vary by paladin, but all the tenets revolve around tracking down those who have committed great evil against those unable to protect themselves. Paladins who uphold these tenets are willing to sacrifice their freedoms to stand against a coming storm. The core principles of the tenets are simple.  

• Stand against the Horde. I have not blessed everyone with my power, thus you who are my champion must defend those who can’t defend themselves.
• A Single Arrow Breaks. A single arrow fired doesn’t stop an army, it breaks against the shield. However many arrows can turn the tide of war, working with others creates a shield for the weak.
• Courage of Holding. While you must not always stand against the coming charge, if your allies require you to hold the line for their retreat you will rain down divine shots on those who charge.
